: Analysis
The Need to KnowThe current tussle in the courts between the Government and the press may have implications far beyond the relationship between politicians and the media.
There are arguments about the public's right to know what government is doing in its name, and about the essential ingredients of an open society. Where should the line be drawn between freedom of expression and the security of the state? Who should draw it: the Government, Parliament or the courts?

35 years earlier when she had decamped with the wandering insurance man.'

: Film of the Book
The last of four programmes looking at film versions of famous novels.Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
When Alan Sillitoe 's screen adaptation of his own novel was first released in 1960, audiences felt that British movies had finally grown up - with Albert Finney thumbing his nose at authority, a new kind of hero was born. But
Christopher Cook finds many differences between Sillitoe's original novel and Karel Reisz 's film version. With soundtrack illustrations and readings from the book by Paul McGann.

This site contains the BBC listings information which the BBC printed in Radio Times between 1923 and 2009. You can search the site for BBC programmes, people, dates and Radio Times editions.
We hope it helps you find information about that long forgotten BBC programme, research a particular person or browse your own involvement with the BBC.
Through the listings, you will also be able to use the Genome search function to find thousands of radio and TV programmes that are already available to view or listen to on the BBC website.
There are more than 5 million programme listings in Genome. This is a historical record of the planned output and the BBC services of any given time. It should be viewed in this context and with the understanding that it reflects the attitudes and standards of its time - not those of today.
Welcome to BBC Genome
Genome is a digitised version of the Radio Times from 1923 to 2009 and is made available for internal research purposes only. You will need to obtain the relevant third party permissions for any use, including use in programmes, online etc.
This internal version of Genome, which includes all the magazine covers, images and articles as well as the programme listings from the Radio Times, is different to the version of BBC Genome that is available externally/to the public. It is only available inside the BBC network.
